[applause] because for all the scare tactics out there, what is truly scary, what is truly risky, is if we do nothing. if we let this moment pass, if we keep the system the way it is now, we will continue to seek 14,000 americans lose their health insurance every day. your premiums will continue to skyrocket. they have gone up three times faster than your wages and they will keep on going up. our deficit will continue to grow because medicare and medicaid are on an unsustainable path. medicare is slated to go into the red in about 8-10 years. if i was a senior citizen, what i would be worried about is medicare starting to run out of money. insurance companies will continue to profit by discriminating against people for the simple crime of being sick. that is not a future a lot for my children. it is not a future i want for the united states of america. new hampshire, i was up h

i would just use an example of an article that came out yesterday. it represents basically one of our larger national insurance companies that are working hard, i think, at least i hope they are, to do what's right, and yet i look that they are going to be dumping 600,000-plus customers because they don't think their profits are big enough. yet i look at the record, and i believe that their c.e.o. actually, in 2008, made over $24 million. now, if they can pay their top executives $24 million last year but they are going to complain their profits are not big enough that they have to dump patients, i would just ask my colleagues where do we go to correct this imbalance if it is not too a very [applause]ible amendment that -- it certainly doesn't restrict the pending amendment, which is mine, it doesn't restrict what industries, corporations, can provide or give their executives in pay. what it does do, it says that we are not going to subsidize that with tax dollars. the very american taxpayers they are dumping are the uns ones that subsidize those inc

not going to bother us at the time being. but this area of low pressure that really caused all the heavy snow in colorado is basically moving to the north. however, it's going to drag the southern end of that front across the mississippi valley. it will pick up some of the moisture. so look for saturday to be a warmer day with the winds out of the south. we'll see increasing clouds. maybe a shower by evening. the best chance of rain will come late saturday night with that front moving across the region. and we could see several hours of rain with that. it'll be warm on saturday. probably near 70. and then turning cooler with some showers probably ending hopefully before noon on sunday. the way it looks right now, if you're heading out with the kids, trick or treating shouldn't be a problem. saturday, late afternoon, early evening shouldn't be a problem. but later saturday, you'll probably get showers. southeast winds, five knots a day. so tonight, lots of clouds. 46 with light northeast winds around the region. temperatures a

and then countered by a senator using wikepedia. you can go into wikepedia and you can do your own editing on that. i'm not sure that is a good source. i'd prefer to rely on the "wall street journal." there isn't any article or opinion that can't be quibbled with. that's just like the amendments we have here. but what i prefer to think is when an amendment or an article or a speech is given that we ought to be looking for the idea, the grain of truth, the juice of it that should be used, and we're not doing that right now. we're just doing amendments there and amendments here, and we're defeating the amendments here and it kind of bothers me that we have all these amendments from this side, because, first of all, our amendments were voted down, all except two, when we went through the health, education, labor, and pensions committee process to get the bill out of committee. and when we went to the finance committee, the same thing happened. i think we had two amendments there that were taken as well over a whole week of amendments.
